Dracaena Lisa

Description

Key Features:

1. Attractive Foliage:
   • The Dracaena Lisa has long, narrow, lance-shaped leaves that are deep green and glossy. The leaves grow in a rosette pattern and can reach up to 2 feet in length, creating a striking and elegant appearance.
2. Tall, Upright Growth:
   • This plant can grow quite tall, often reaching heights of 5-10 feet indoors. Its upright growth habit makes it an excellent choice for adding vertical interest to a room.
3. Air Purifying:
   • Dracaena Lisa is known for its air-purifying qualities, helping to remove toxins such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene from the air, making it a great addition to home and office environments.
4. Low Maintenance:
   • This plant is relatively easy to care for and can thrive in a variety of indoor conditions, making it suitable for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts.

Care Tips:

1. Light Requirements:
   • Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. It can adapt to lower light environments, though growth may slow down.
2. Watering:
   • Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. Dracaena Lisa prefers to be kept slightly on the dry side and can tolerate occasional neglect. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the soil is well-draining.
3. Humidity:
   • This plant does well in average household humidity levels but will appreciate occasional misting, especially in dry indoor environments.
4. Temperature:
   • Prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep the plant away from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
5. Soil:
   • Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one formulated for tropical plants or a standard houseplant mix. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
6. Fertilizing:
   • Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall and winter.
7. Pruning:
   • Prune to remove any yellow or damaged leaves and to maintain the desired shape and size. Cut back any overly long stems to encourage bushier growth.
8. Repotting:
   • Repot the plant every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the current one, with good drainage holes.
